    Hi Uniteers

    I have created a flame using the visual effect graph and at certain angles the flames disappear. This behavior is apparent in both editor and during play mode. Anyone with an idea why this is happening?

    Ah! I figured it out. I fiddled around with some values of the first block in the Initialize group without knowing exactly what it did. It seems like the Bounds parameter determines when the visual effect is initiated.

    Thanks for this - I had a similar issue in that I was setting the centre & bounds of my Position (AABox) node but not the first block. Doing both sorted it.

    Thank you very much. In Unity 2022 I needed to change the initial mode to automatic to get it visible all the time.

    If this doesn't work for someone, try increasing the bounds size to extreme values, like 100000. Makes no sense, but this worked for me

    Yup, in 2022 LTS, setting the bounds to Automatic fixed the issue for me.
